Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / Australian Photography / September 2007Canon Introduces New 1200-1700mm f/5.6 Zoom!
It didn't take long for Canon to try to get one up on Nikon again. Canon comes out of the corner swinging after the severe thrashing and sand kicked in the face that the newly released D3 and D300 had given them. The last straw was the new 9-bladed super-teles with VR. Canon engineers were happy to announce they were ahead of schedule and production starts in spring of 2008. <http://blogs.reuters.com/blog/2007/07/18/unleashing-the-beast> Rita > It didn't take long for Canon to try to get one up on Nikon again.

Nothing in the story at all about Canon producing such a lens ...  Signaturecmyk >> It didn't take long for Canon to try to get one up on Nikon again.

Never believe anything you read. Once you get that down pat, the rest is pure enjoyment. Doug > Lesson 101 for newsgroup awareness. > Never take anything you read seriously.

If reading the blatherings of assorted idiots can be considered " pure enjoyment" :-) :-) :-) MrT. >>>> It didn't take long for Canon to try to get one up on Nikon again. >>>> Canon [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Once you get that down pat, the rest is pure enjoyment. LOL! Rita >> It didn't take long for Canon to try to get one up on Nikon again. >> Canon comes out of the corner swinging after the severe thrashing [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > adapter.

That is one hell of a lens that makes the old Mk II look great! Rita |
